Here is my cover ShadyVox's parody of Katy Perry's song "Last Friday Night". I personally don't really play Minecraft, but "Don't Mine at Night" is an instant fandom classic, and so I covered it for my 200 YouTube subscriber milestone back in late 2014.
This was my first time trying my hand at a full-band arrangement of something with the gear I had. I actually remember that I was with my family in New Orleans for Thanksgiving when I released this. I spent that night mixing what I could of the tracks up in my hotel room and then posting the video the next morning in the hotel lobby.
lyrics
Got my sword with Sharpness Two
Look, that zombie's got one too
Out of bread, what do I do?
I'm low on hearts, this is my doom
I don't even have a tool
C'mon, Button, play it cool
Though I'm here to fight for you
I'm biting more than I can chew
My life flashes by through that Ender eye, I'm scared
Oh well
And I'm pretty sure there's a big creeper right there
Oh dang
Don't mine at night
I know you're lookin' at that cave
And you're feelin' kinda brave
Go to bed, you'll be alright.
Don't mine at night
Don't go deeper, make a change
Get that gold and get away
Zombies wanna eat our brains
Don't mine at night
I'll fight away the skeletons
While you're looking for diamonds
They're getting closer, better run
Don't mine at night
No, this won't be our final day
Take my hoof we'll find a way, woah!
Don't mine at night (Don't mine at night)
Don't mine at night (Don't mine at night)
I turn a sec, you're getting shot
Then you jump through a portal, well, why not?
When I think it can't get worse
An Ender herd shows up, of course!
Now you say you need glowstone,
And want to mine it on your own
Then to save you from the lava
I fell in, I should have known.
This is the last time I try to be your light, I failed
So bad
I lost all my stuff, it was really tough, that's it
Rage quit!
Don't mine at night
I know you're lookin' at that cave
And you're feelin' kinda brave
Go to bed, you'll be alright
Don't mine at night
Don't go deeper, make a change
Get that gold and get away
Zombies wanna eat your brains
Don't mine at night
Please don't get caught by skeletons
While you're looking for diamonds
They're getting closer, better run
Don't mine at night
No, this won't be your final day
Hold on tight, I'm on my way, woah!
Don't mine at night
(Don't mine at night)
